An Oklahoma couple is facing murder charges after their family dog mauled and killed their toddler.
Jordan McGuire, 34, and Darci Lambert, 24, were arrested over the tragic death of their two-year-old Locklynn McGuire.
Police were called to their Oklahoma City home over concerns that the girl had been 'eaten by something' just after 11.30pm on November 18 according to KOCO.
Officers arrived to find Locklynn dead at the residence in the jaws of one of the family's four dogs, a pit bull named Ella.
Oklahoma City Police Staff Sergeant Dillon Quirk told People that the little girl had been shut in a room with the canine. It was allegedly the second time she had been attacked by the same animal.
'The child was left in that room with the animal for a substantial period of time before she was discovered deceased,' he said.
'And ultimately a murder arrest came from that investigation.'
The couple were arrested on complaints of second-degree murder on Friday.
Oklahoma City Animal Welfare took custody of all four dogs as well as one pet rat and two lizards.
Court documents obtained by KOCO reported that Locklynn had been attacked only two weeks prior by 'the same black pit bull' who was referred to as Ella.
She was taken to OU Children's Hospital with a 'partially severed left ear.'
The affidavit for arrest claimed that the parents would often shut the dog in the same room with their daughter because it attacked their other animals.
Oklahoma Department of Human Services was called to investigate the first attack but they did not remove Locklynn from the residence.
Police investigations suggested that the parents continued to leave her in rooms with the aggressive animal even after the first attack.
Family members started a GoFundMe for Locklynn's memorial service.

How about a Singapore-style caning?

No. I’m sorry about the child, but I would not be giving anything to that GoFundMe. These parents are obviously unfit and do not think things through. I would have no confidence that they would use the donations for what we are now being told.
In the town where I live, a 23 year-old was dog sitting for a family today with three pit bulls. They mauled her to death. I don’t have any words.
She was taken to OU Children's Hospital with a 'partially severed left ear.'
The affidavit for arrest claimed that the parents would often shut the dog in the same room with their daughter because it attacked their other animals.
Oklahoma Department of Human Services was called to investigate the first attack but they did not remove Locklynn from the residence.
The priorities of these parents: keep the other animals safe after the pitbull tears off their baby's ear.
And DHS: keep the child in the home. How about conditional on the removal of the pitbull?
Unbelievable. Talk about being stoned out of their gourds.
They have a dog that attacks the other dogs, do they put it in a room with their daughter who has been bit by the thing before? They are more worried about the other dog’s safety than their daughter’s?
And they are dumb enough to admit this as if this is a perfectly logical way to handle animals and kids?
Good grief.
The “father “ looks like a demon. The mother looks like your regular dipchit. They should be put down easy and all vicious dogs should be destroyed. Just sayin.

Makes me wonder if the child had been killed by human abuse and then the abusers tried to hide their abuse by feeding the kid to the dog.
Why parents?..why???
How about premeditated murder and child abuse?
I thought the same thing. She looks young, impressionable, probably impulsive and stupid. Probably would be an OK wife and mother if she were with a strong, moral man
That guy is troubled, selfish, found himself a sucker and probably has been grooming her since her mid teen years.
“Dad” looks like your typical Okie inbred, with an IQ that matches his shoe size.
I trust the cops shot the effing mutt.
That guy looks like nothing but trouble in that pic.
